This town is very remote, isolated, and out of the way.Â But it is well worth a visit, especially if you have time to spare to mingle with local people and take advantage of the slow-paced lifestyle of the region.Â The spring water there is very sweet and delicious, but travelers should only drink it in purified, bottle form.Â Find a guide to take a tour through the oases area, and try to sample lots of fresh fruits straight from the plants (with permission).
